I’m not defending Ciara or anything, but who is surprised? R&B doesn’t sell anymore, because it gets hardly promotion. The only female R&B/Soul artists which succeeded in 2010 were Fantasia & Monica. The others did bad: Dondria, Chrisette Michele, Jazmine Sullivan & now Ciara and Kandi. Even Toni Braxton & Faith Evans failed to make a big impact. All these singers didn’t cross the 50k+ mark, so who is actually surprised, when Ciara flops? Unfortunately I doubt Keyshia & Keri will do big numbers too. Sales don’t matter to me anymore, I listen to music which I like, not this Pop-shh which is on top!
